Overview

It is easy to lose the Sococo tab among many other tabs in your Google Chrome browser. To avoid that, one can create a standalone Chrome shortcut straight to Sococo. When opened, the shortcut allows Sococo to run in its instance of Chrome with a separate taskbar icon.

Solution

1. Open the Sococo web app in your Google Chrome browser.
2. Go to your home room (As the shortcut will start the app in the same space and room you were in when the shortcut was created).
3. Open the Google Chrome main menu (the three vertical dots in the top right corner). Go to the More Tools > Create shortcut.
   

4. Type a name for the shortcut, or leave it as the default name - Sococo. Mark Open as window to have the Sococo app running in a separate window.
   

Testing

1. Once you create a shortcut, a new window will open with your Sococo app.
   

2. Additionally, you can find a shortcut to Sococo on your desktop. You can pin the shortcut to the Taskbar or Dock, just as you would do with the Sococo desktop app.
